Advocate staff photo by ELIOT KAMENITZ -- New Orleans Police investigate the scene of a shooting of at least 19 people May 12 at the intersection of Frenchmen and North Villere streets. A Mother's Day second-line parade was passing the corner when the shooting happened.

In a shooting so brazen that it shocked a city hardened by recurrent gun violence, 19 people were rushed to local hospitals after gunmen opened fire on hundreds who had turned out for an annual Mother’s Day second line parade in the 7th Ward.
